KUALA LUMPUR: The long-stalled Residensi Hektar housing project has been officially revived with fresh funding and a new contractor, according to Housing and Local Government Minister Nga Kor Ming.
“With the injection of new funds, construction began on July 30 and is expected to be completed by June 2027. The completion will be handled by the new main contractor, Bina Permai San Bhd,” Nga said during question time in the Dewan Rakyat on Wednesday.
The project, previously known as Residensi Gombak, is part of the RumahWIP scheme and has been managed by the Federal Territories Department since 2018. Initially slated for completion in 2022, it stalled due to multiple issues and has since been regarded as one of the country’s largest abandoned housing projects, involving 2,400 residential units.
Nga explained that the ministry’s Task Force on Sick and Abandoned Private Housing Projects (TFST) stepped in to revive the project with an injection of RM125 million. He noted that the task force has so far rejuvenated 1,171 sick projects nationwide, covering 139,844 residential units with a total Gross Development Value (GDV) of RM113.5 billion.
Responding to a query from Zahir Hassan (PH–Wangsa Maju), who asked about progress and delays, Nga confirmed that site cleaning began on July 30, while full-scale construction is scheduled to ramp up from September 1.
The minister added that the Certificate of Completion and Compliance (CCC) is expected by February 27, 2027, with units slated to be handed over to buyers by May 31, 2027.
Nga further revealed that a detailed announcement would be made after Budget 2026, which will include plans to push towards achieving zero sick projects across the nation.
